Catarrhal Dangers.

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation
while lying down; to breathe freely, sleep sound
ly and undisturbed; TO rise refreshed, head clear,
brain active and free from pain or ache; to know
that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the
breath and rots away the delicate machinery OF
smell, taste and hearing; TO feel that the system
does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up
the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy,
is indeed blessing beyond all other human en-
joyments. To purchase immunity from such a
fate should be the object of all afflicted. But
those who have tried many remedies and physi-
clans despair of relief or cure.
SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE meets every phase
of Catarrh, from simple head cold to the most
loathsome and destructive stages. 1t islocal and
constitutional. Instant in relieving, permanent
in curing, safe, economical and never-failing

Transportation and Markets.

Cheap and rapid transportation is Of the ut
most importance to those who are both producers
and consumers. 1t cheapens all that he buys
and enhances the price of all he produces. The
"LANGFoRD COLONY" is most advantage
ously situated IN this respect. 1t is between two
railroads that both connect with steamboats,
that run from the Sacramento and San Joaquin
points to the Golden Gate. This gives the cheap
est freight and passenger rates for the distance
this Coast. The markets for all kinds of pro-
ducts are good. The Canneries, Wineries and
Fruit Dealers take all the Fruit raised, at highly
remunerGtive prices. There is an unlimited
demand for all the Wine, Raisins, Figs, Prunes,
Green, Dried and Canned Fruits that can be
grown. Dairy Products, Fowls, Eggs and Yege-

AN ENGINEERS TESTIMONY.

L. F. Bassett, City Engineer, said he had
examined this matter carefully, had visited
the mines many times, and followed the
streams down from the dump of the mines
many miles. He described the restraining
dams in Humbug Canyon and in Succor
Flat ravine and exhibited large photo
graphs of the same, showing them to be
completely filled with debris, and their re-
straining qualities in consequence entirely
gone. He then went into minute details
of the rivers, canyons, dams, debris, etc.,
stating, that in his opinion, the matter car
ried out of the mines in solution would
not be restrained by the proposed dams.
Mr.. Sims-Do you not think dams could
be constructed that would retain all the
coarser material and very much of that
carried in solution, for very long time?
Mr.. Bassett-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Sims-Don't you think that series
of such dams would rob the water OF all
the matter carried in solution
Mr.. Bassett-Yes; but, as | understand,
this bill does not provide for series OF
dams.
Mr.. Silns-That is the way you under
stand it.
In response to questions by Mr.. Ohleyer,
member of the committee, Mr.. Bassett
said that the water in those restraining
dams would move with the velocity OF the
current of the Sacramento or the Yuba.
The dams would cause much material to
lodge between the mine and dams, which
would be washed down stream over the
dams. which would be filled by the first
| freshet. If restraining dam was con-
structed in the Yuba gorge the first week OF
high water would completely fill it without
the addition of fresh mining debris.
In response to some questions by Mr..
Sims, Mr.. Bassett said he never constructed
dam nor made specifications for their
construction. He had been practical en-
| gineer for fourteen years, and at the time
| he made the examinations of the mines and
| dams he referred to. he was in the employ
| of the anti Debris Association, acting ir the
capacity of an expert.
AT II o'clock the committee adjourned
until half-past this evening.
